PlatON Announced as Secondary Exhibition Sponsor for Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026

PlatON Announced as Secondary Exhibition Sponsor for Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026

Hong Kong, 10th February 2026, The Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026 just got another major sponsor on board. PlatON is coming in as a Secondary Exhibition Sponsor, and honestly, it’s a pretty good fit given what they’re trying to accomplish in the financial infrastructure space.

So what exactly is PlatON? It’s an open financial infrastructure platform that the LatticeX Foundation put together. The really cool part is this thing called TOPOS that sits on top of it – basically, it’s designed to help banks and payment companies actually make sense of blockchain technology and use it for real-world payments and clearing. We’ve all heard the talk about blockchain revolutionizing finance, but PlatON is actually trying to make that happen by building something traditional financial institutions can actually work with.

They’ve got the technical chops for it too – we’re talking high-frequency transaction processing, quick settlements, smart contracts that can handle multiple types of assets. This isn’t some experimental project; it’s built to handle serious stuff like cross-border payments, institutional settlements, and managing digital assets in a way that keeps regulators happy. If you want to dive deeper into what they’re doing, head over to https://platon.network.

Now, the festival itself has become a pretty big deal since it kicked off back in April 2023. Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey Group run it together, with W3ME handling the organization, and it’s turned into the go-to event for anyone serious about Web3 in Asia. It’s where people actually show up to talk about what’s working, what’s not, and where all of this is heading.

Mark your calendars for April 20-23 if you’re planning to go – it’ll be at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The past three years have been pretty wild: 350+ exhibitors, over 1,200 speakers, 100,000 people coming through the doors, and more than 400 side events happening around the main conference. That’s a lot of activity packed into a few days.

This year they’re lining up around 300 speakers to cover pretty much every corner of Web3 and crypto. But here’s what’s really interesting – they’ve already got 500+ executives and decision-makers from traditional finance and regular businesses signed up. That’s not your typical crypto crowd. It means you’ve got old-school finance people genuinely trying to understand this space, sitting down with crypto natives, and actually having productive conversations. Those are the kinds of interactions that lead to real progress.

The fact that it’s in Hong Kong matters more than you might think. The city has always been this weird and wonderful mix of East and West, traditional finance and cutting-edge tech. It’s got one foot in Mainland China’s massive market and the other in the global financial system. That positioning means the festival can pull in people and ideas from everywhere, giving you access to perspectives and opportunities that just don’t exist at Western crypto conferences or purely Asian tech events.

Whether you’re already neck-deep in DeFi or you’re just trying to figure out what all the fuss is about, this has become the event that actually matters in the Asian crypto calendar.
